I Solved it...as follows:

 

$mail=new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP();                   //Important b'coz by this stmt we sent mail using smtp
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;       // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";  // sets the prefix to the servier
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$mail->Port = 465; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "yourmail@gmail.com"; // GMAIL username
$mail->Password = "your mail password"; // GMAIL password

$mail->FromName = "PhotoGallery:Admin";
$mail->From = "from address@gmail.com";
$mail->AddAddress($to,$to_name);
$mail->Subject = $subject;

$mail->Body ="body of the message";
$result=$mail->Send();
    return $result;
